Hello everyone,
Seek the Peak is almost here!!
Race packages will be available for pick-up at Guest Services at the base of Grouse
Mountain on Thursday and Friday, June 12 and 13 between 8am-8pm. While you can
pick up your package on the race day at Ambleside, we recommend beating the rush
and pick it up in advance. The package will also have goodies you’ll need (or want) for
race day including:




Race bib
Skyride ticket for a guest
Gifts and info from our event sponsors
And, for those who purchased or fundraised $50, your event technical shirt.
If you haven’t secured a t-shirt yet, you will be able to purchase one from Guest
Services. Please note that there are limited quantities of some shirt sizes. Sizes will be
accommodated on a first come basis at package pick-up – so another reason to come
in advance!
If you are running as a solo, your timing chip will be on the back of your bib. If you are
running as a team, you will need to pass a timing chip to your relay partners at every
relay checkpoint.
Race day shaping up to be a great one! Package pick-up and race day registration will
be open from 6:30am to 7:30am at Ambleside Park (Field F). No need to check-in if
you picked up your package in advance. The pre-race briefing will begin at 8:00am and
Kintec will lead warm-ups at 8:05am. The race will officially begin at 8:15am.
At the four aid stations along the course, Whistler Water, Powerade and Vega will
keep you energized as you power through the course. Our training partners from Kintec
and North Shore Athletics will be manning the stations and cheering you on!
More information including shuttles, parking, bag check and more can be found here.
Once you have completed the spectacular 16km run, be sure to stay for the celebration
and awards ceremony at the top of Grouse Mountain. Our partners will be providing lots
of fun activities, samples and a silent auction, by donation (ranging from $1 to $20) to
the BC Cancer Foundation. Cash, credit and debit will be accepted. Here’s a preview:
